Hi,
I've tried the iCarSoft MB V2.0, it runs dianostics ok but won't connect to the ODB.
Communication error / Link error, Check 1.cable, 2.ign on, 3.ODBII compliant
The car won't start and the radiator fan comes on running full.
Is the ODB comms error suggesting any particular fault?
Could it be that the ECU isn't powered up? Is the a fuse for the ECU?
Any help really welcome please.
 
KliierHERTZ,
I've updated the scanner but still the same, comms error. Do you know what I can check next?
 
Central gateway module? Could that cause the radiator cooling fan to roar in the engine run key position but no starting plus no ODB comms?

I'm pretty sure radiator fan on full is what happens when there is an ECU fault.
 
pillow,
Thank you, I'll find the ecu and check that it is getting power, fuse etc.
 
Hi,
Is there a wiring diagram available online for the W215/CL500?
